Phoenix Contact 1460043 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1460043 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for top entry applications with M20 thread size in the HEAVYCON® B series. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The connector features a die-cast aluminum housing with powder coating and accommodates B10 size specifications with locking clips positioned on the base bottom.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1460043 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with top entry configuration
• Size Specification: B10 size requirement
• Thread Size: M20 thread compatibility
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® B series
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Housing Material: Aluminum, die cast construction
• RoHS Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment
• Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP65 specification

The substitute part 1412620 satisfies all critical parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and additional salt water resistance features. Both components maintain identical thread size, size classification, connector type, and operating temperature specifications. The substitute is currently in active production status, addressing the obsolescence of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1412620 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1460043. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: connector type, size classification, thread size, operating temperature range, housing material, and locking mechanism. The substitute part offers enhanced ingress protection ratings (IP66/IP67/IP69K versus IP65) and salt water resistance, providing superior environmental sealing without compromising compatibility.

Selection of part 1412620 is supported by its active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical moisture sensitivity levels, confirming regulatory and environmental alignment. The dimensional variance (1.732" W x 2.244" H for 1412620 versus 1.693" W x 2.205" H for 1460043) represents minor manufacturing tolerance adjustments that do not affect functional compatibility within the HEAVYCON® B series framework.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1412620 directly replace 1460043 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, style, size (B10), thread size (M20), locking mechanism, housing material, and operating temperature specifications. The substitute provides enhanced ingress protection without requiring design modifications.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between these parts?

A: The original 1460043 provides IP65 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The substitute 1412620 provides IP66/IP67/IP69K protection (dust tight, water resistant, waterproof). This represents an upgrade in environmental sealing capability.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns?

A: Minor dimensional differences exist (width: 1.732" versus 1.693"; height: 2.244" versus 2.205"). These variations fall within standard manufacturing tolerances for the HEAVYCON® B series and do not affect mechanical fit or functional performance.

Q: Does the substitute maintain RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Phoenix Contact 1412620 is RoHS compliant, matching the compliance status of the original 1460043.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The 1460043 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1412620 represents the current production equivalent with enhanced environmental protection features.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The original 1460043 was supplied with unspecified packaging. The substitute 1412620 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Are both parts suitable for salt water environments?

A: The substitute 1412620 includes salt water resistance as a documented feature. The original 1460043 does not list this specification. For salt water applications, 1412620 is the appropriate selection.
